I am on H1b visa and would like to take a break of few months. Is there a way to do that without going out of the country or losing my visa?

[proberts → harigov]

Yes, as long as the reason for the break comes from you and not the company and this break is supported by the company, you can remain in H-1B status while on a leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid.
